Be anxious to see what adhesive you wind up using and the pad coating or bonding process needed to keep it in place. The factory method or cement has not seemed to have made it into the common knowledge status yet. Some have said it was upholstery contact cement -- the super strong type which is bought in bulk and sprayed out of guns but I never found anything in writing or know how successful it actually might be.

The "super or extra strength" spray can contact adhesive recommended by some vendors seems to let go fairly often. Maybe it is the underhood heat or maybe the pad needs some kind of surface prep before adhesive is applied to such a porous surface I still have a mostly new black and yellow fiberglass pad that was put on a 54 Pacific. It was put on with the super strength "commercial upholstery" spray can stuff and stayed on the hood all of about a month before It wound up draped across the engine.. Dwight's 56 repro pad with the vinyl covering has a different surface he says will hold glue better so he recommends super strength spray can stuff. Never put the one I bought on so cannot say for sure he is correct.
